TOPIC: FATHER, LEAD ME BACK TO YOU: Stop Belittling God.
MEMORY VERSE:
Psalms 51:11-12
“11. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.”
“12. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.”
BIBLE READING:
1 Kings 19:1-3
“1. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.”
“2. Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.”
“3. And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.”
Thinking Point:
Our walk with God should be intimate and consistent not partial (only when we need Him).
Every voice around your life, sending you away from your rightful position, by the power in the name of Jesus, such voice seize from now in Jesus Name, Amen.
I welcome you to these new series in Jesus name. We shall be taking some lessons from the life of the man that stood with God and we will be applying them to our lives and I pray that the eyes of our understanding be enlightened to behold what the Lord is revealing to us in Jesus name, Amen.
In the last chapter, Chapter 18, Elijah was able to end the lives of 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of the groves who feed under Jezebel, the queen of Ahab. In our chapter when Jezebel heard of what Elijah did, she sent a messenger to him with this words, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.” and after the message, Elijah fled from Samaria and ran for his life. If I may ask, why was he running? Where was he going? The answer is very simple, Elijah was afraid of Jezebel. Was jezebel stronger than him? No. Was Elijah still anointed? Yes. Then ‘why was he running?’ He responded to stimulus, Fear of Jezebel neutralized the power of the anointing in him at that moment.
Brethren, how often do we run from what is not up to us? How often are we afraid of situations under our control? How often do we give in to fear of the unknown and limiting the God inside of us? Most times we finish prayers and fasting and still go around with the fear of what we have prayed against. We belittle the God inside of us because of threat? Elijah would say, “Before the God whom I stand” where was that God at that moment? He was there but Elijah turned away from Him and fled. Stop rating the situation above the power of God. The ten spices said in Numbers 13:33,
“33. … and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”
You are more powerful than that threat, just turn to God and hand over the situation and see what the Lord will do. Face the threat, decree what God says about you and what you will do to the threat. Let there be a holy anger from the angle of God because He is with you. Stop belittling God.
